[12:42] <necrite_> ppl.. what is the best option to file sharing between 2 linux server? nfs?
[02:21] <Administrator_> hi
[02:21] <Dasc> anyone home? :D
[02:23] <Burgundavia> nope
[02:25] <Dasc> I'm trying to setup a linux server to share my internet connection with load balancing, can someone point me to the right direction?
[02:25] <Dasc> everyone's asleep? :X
[02:29] <Burgundavia> load balancing/
[02:29] <Burgundavia> ?
[02:29] <Dasc> ya
[02:29] <Burgundavia> network load balancing?
[02:29] <Dasc> yup yup
[02:29] <Dasc> have 2 internet connections
[02:29] <Dasc> and a house full of downloaders >_X
[02:30] <Dasc> want to setup the server to automatically use both internet connections
[02:31] <Burgundavia> right
[02:31] <Burgundavia> get two network cards, and plug them both in
[02:31] <Dasc> have 3 network cards
[02:31] <Dasc> ;x
[02:33] <Burgundavia> http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
[02:34] <Dasc> ooooo was sort of looking at that earlier
[02:34] <Dasc> will give it a go and see what happens :x
[02:35] <Dasc> but definately looks like the diagram I need ^_^
[02:35] <Dasc> thanks burgundavia :D
[02:35] <Burgundavia> no worries
[02:35] <Burgundavia> I have never tested that, however
[02:37] <Dasc> hehe that was one of the reasons why I wanted to ask around and get confirmation before I try it :p
[11:22] <thedeviantone> I'm trying to install  Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on an AMD650 with a PERC2/SC SCSI Controller and i always get a "Kernel Panic Error" VFS: Could not Mount root device use correct root= boot option
[11:22] <thedeviantone> can anyone helpme with server install
[11:23] <shawarma> Do you happen to know the name of the driveR?
[11:24] <shawarma> ...for the SCSI controller.
[11:24] <thedeviantone> not sure
[11:25] <thedeviantone> im also getting an Bufer I/O error on device hda logical block 1
[11:25] <thedeviantone> and i2o: iop0: could not activate controller
[11:27] <thedeviantone> if i switch to console tty4 it says tail /var/log/syslog no such file or directory
[11:27] <thedeviantone> it repeats over and over again
[11:33] <shawarma> Um..
[11:34] <shawarma> I thought you said it didn't boot?
[11:34] <thedeviantone> right after it starts uncompressing the kernel i get these messages and it stalls
[11:35] <thedeviantone> sorry i got past this error Kernel Panic Error" VFS: Could not Mount root device use correct root= boot option
[11:37] <shawarma> Ok. The installation went just fine?
[11:37] <thedeviantone> no 
[11:38] <thedeviantone> i can't get past the " linux decompressing . . . . " then blank screen 
[11:38] <shawarma> Oh, that's in the installation?
[11:38] <thedeviantone> after a few seconds two lines are displayed
[11:38] <thedeviantone> yes
[11:38] <thedeviantone> im also getting an Bufer I/O error on device hda logical block 1
[11:38] <thedeviantone> and i2o: iop0: could not activate controller
[11:38] <shawarma> Is your cd drive the only ide device in the box?
[11:39] <thedeviantone> nope the CD drive is hdc
[11:39] <thedeviantone> i have 160GB ATA100 EIDE drive on hda
[11:40] <shawarma> Ok..
[11:40] <thedeviantone> do i need to disable the scsi card bios?
[11:41] <shawarma> If you don't need it, it won't hurt.
[11:41] <thedeviantone> plus i'm not to sure about the write policy and read and cache policy settings
[11:42] <thedeviantone> I dont need raid I just want separate disk 
[11:42] <shawarma> I don't know that particular controller, I'm afraid.
[11:43] <thedeviantone> have u seen the first error before?
[11:43] <thedeviantone> Bufer I/O error on device hda logical block 1
[11:46] <shawarma> Yes, when the disk is broken.
[11:46] <shawarma> :)
[11:47] <thedeviantone> seriously :(
[11:47] <shawarma> Other than that I could probably happen if the controller is acting strangely.
[11:49] <shawarma> Is it a new server?
[11:49] <thedeviantone> no
[11:51] <shawarma> Alright. To be honest, i don't entirely remember what the Dapper install looked like. Isn't there and option on there to not switch to graphical mode or something so that you can see what goes on?
[11:52] <thedeviantone> i've tried everything
[11:52] <thedeviantone> server boot optons
[12:01] <shawarma> Could you try with a newer installation CD?
[12:01] <shawarma> Feisty, perhaps?
[12:23] <thedeviantone> now I get as far as instaling net card then when trying to detec hardware i get error
[12:24] <thedeviantone> "could not stat device B-00RA0 - no such file or directory
[12:24] <shawarma> With Feisty CD?
[12:24] <thedeviantone> nope 6.06
[12:25] <shawarma> Um... What have you changeD?
[12:25] <thedeviantone> im downloading feisty now
[12:25] <thedeviantone> noting, just waited for a half hour
[12:25] <thedeviantone> now I can hit rety or cancel and same thing, brings me to thi scre
[12:38] <shawarma> thedeviantone: Sounds.. "interesting".
[12:38] <shawarma> thedeviantone: What's on the server now?
[12:39] <thedeviantone> it brings me to the partition disk screen, but no matter how i try to partition the 160 IDE drive it returns to the same screen asking me to repartition
[12:40] <thedeviantone> it doesn;t even see the scsi
[12:40] <shawarma> I mean what was on the server before you started installing Ubuntu on it?
[12:41] <thedeviantone> windows 2000 but that was on another hard drive
[12:42] <thedeviantone> i'm basically throwing parts together to get a small server running
[12:44] <shawarma> Is the ide disk connected to a special controller?
[12:46] <thedeviantone> no
[12:47] <thedeviantone> just the mobo nothing special set to msater and cd on secondary set to master\
[12:48] <[miles] > guys, does anyone know the command that would allow me to reconfigure the nic's in ncurse menu please?
[01:01] <shawarma> [miles] : I realise it doesn't really answer your question, but (most of) the config is in /etc/network/interfaces.
[01:02] <[miles] > yeah
[01:02] <[miles] > but the guy im showing, does not want to touch the raw files :-\
[01:02] <[miles] > so I wanted him to use the ncurse menu
[01:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> afaik there is none
[01:07] <[miles] > no?
[01:07] <[miles] > what about the menu thats given on installation?
[01:07] <[miles] > that can't be recalled?
[01:07] <Kamping_Kaiser> debian-installer? no
[01:08] <shawarma> [miles] : currently, no.
[01:08] <[miles] > ohh
[01:08] <[miles] > ok
[01:11] <[miles] > erm, is there a package for mouse support in console?
[01:11] <[miles] > iirc there was in SUSE
[01:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> gpm
[01:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> *shudder*
[01:12] <[miles] > thats it
[01:36] <[miles] > Kamping_Kaiser: whats up with it?
[01:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> i find it increadably annoying
[01:40] <[miles] > htf do I start it?
[01:40] <[miles] > no init script
[01:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> no idea
[01:43] <[miles] > ok np
[01:44] <lionel> [miles] : there is an init script in gpm
[01:44] <[miles] > in SuSE , yes
[01:44] <lionel> in Dapper also
[01:44] <[miles] > mmmm
[01:44] <[miles] > I'm going crazy then
[01:45] <lionel> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=gpm&version=dapper&arch=i386
[01:45] <[miles] > cos I can't find it
[01:45] <lionel>  /etc/init.d/gpm
[01:46] <[miles] > odd
[01:46] <[miles] > on my server it dont find it
[01:49] <[miles] > nope
[01:49] <[miles] > finds the libgpm
[01:49] <[miles] > but not the gpm packag
[02:01] <lionel> [miles] : universe is not activated on your server I think
[03:09] <nofxx> hello there, Ive installed some pci lan cards... they are listed on lspci.... and use the same chipset as the onboard, how to bring them up? only the onboard is showing
[03:09] <lionel> nofxx: you see them with ifconfig -a ?
[03:13] <nofxx> lionel: nope... only on lspci
[03:14] <lionel> so your new lan cards probabily not used the same kernel modules :-(
[03:15] <nofxx> damn... the working one is 8139C ... the new ones are 8139D .... all realtek
[03:16] <nofxx> update my kernel? 2.6.20-16 ... ubuntu 7.04
[03:16] <shawarma> nofxx: No hints from dmesg?
[03:22] <nofxx> shawarma: nothing like pci error... sorry for the naiveness...im not a network guy, i m doing this job just to help a charity organization... as they network is so well configured that when internet goes down, the LAN goes down too.... incredible heh
[03:36] <fernando> moin all
